For all their faults, LLMs are pretty damn good at basic trouble shooting of Linux. Ideally prepare context for them with installation details. Use CLI client, recommend opencode CLI, plan agent is good to inspect the commands it will plan to run and let’s you inspect and think through what it is doing. Can also ask for clarifications along the way.

It’s not perfect but very good.

There is something to consider though if we are not helping people realize their full potential.

And I doubt that anyone truly gifted as a child is dumb now. Innate intelligence doesn’t just whiff away.
